NOTHING HAS F------ CHANGED 10

Gamergate (harassment campaign) Article Talk From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Gamergate (disambiguation). Gamergate or GamerGate (GG)[¹] was a loosely organized misogynistic online harassment campaign and a right-wing backlash against feminism, diversity, and progressivism in video game culture. [2][³] It was conducted using the hashtag "#Gamergate" primarily in 2014 and 2015.[1][4][5][6] Beginning in August 2014, Gamergate targeted women in the video game industry, most notably feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian and video game developers Zoë Quinn and Brianna Wu, among others.[7][8][9][10][11] The harassment campaign included doxing, r--- threats, and death threats.[12][13][14] Gamergate proponents ("Gamergaters") stated that they were a social movement, but lacked well-defined goals, a coherent message, and leaders, making Gamergate difficult to define.[15][16][17] Gamergaters claimed to promote ethics in video games journalism, claimed to be protecting the "gamer" identity, and opposed what they asserted as "political correctness" in video games.[18][19][20][21][22] Read Date Target Gamergate, online harassment campaign in 2014-15 that targeted women in the video game industry. The attacks were attributed largely to white male right-wing gamers who railed against the rise and influence of women and feminism in the industry. Gamergate served as a recruiting tool for the growing alt-right movement and helped spur the online “Pizzagate" conspiracy theory, which soon spawned the wider QAnon conspiracy movement. …………………………....…..……….…..... Attack type Victims Motive View source Inquiry XA 28 languages ✓ Perpetrators Internet trolls, particularly from 4chan, Internet Relay Chat, and 8chan View history Tools ✓ Gamergate August 2014 - 2015 Women in the video game industry See all media Online harassment campaign Zoë Quinn, Anita Sarkeesian, Brianna Wu, and others Gamergaters created conspiracy theories falsely accusing Quinn of an unethical relationship with video game journalist Nathan Grayson.[23][24][25] More broadly, they alleged unethical collusion between the press and feminists, progressives, and social critics.[17][26] [27] These claims were widely dismissed as trivial, conspiracy theories, baseless, or unrelated to actual issues of ethics in gaming and journalism.[28] [29][30] Gamergate supporters frequently denied that the harassment took place, falsely claiming it to be manufactured by the victims.[31][32] Misogyny anti-feminism anti- progressivism FBI investigation Gamergate has been described as a culture war over cultural diversification, artistic recognition, feminism in video games, social criticism in video games, and the social identity of gamers.[28][33] [34] [35] Many supporters of Gamergate opposed the increasing influence of feminism and so-called "social justice warriors" on video game culture. [2][36] Gamergate led figures both inside and outside the gaming industry to focus on methods of addressing online harassment, ways to minimize harm, and prevent similar events. [37] [38] [39] [40] Gamergate has been viewed as a contributor to the alt-right and other right- wing movements.[21][41] Video game developer Brianna Wu

Author has 304 answers and 740.1K answer views. 5y Not that I care that much either way, but it did expose a lot of corrupt game developers and game journalists. X Journalists would make claims of people like Anita Sarkeesian "playing video games all her life" when she openly admitted many times she is not a gamer and only starter recently (when it wasn't for an interview). Various developers trading sex or money for good reviews got exposed, journalists who accepted got exposed. People became a bit more critical about supporting a game just because the developer has a victim complex stating tat their game could have only failed because of sexism, instead of their own poor developing skills. What really sealed the deal was opposition often faking their own harassment. Anita sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn have been caught multiple times screenshotting "harassment" while showing that the harrasser's account name in the login. Or when someone called the police to help Sarkeesian against a "very real threat" she was posting about, only for police to find the harasser's messages were coming from her IP address. I just want honesty from the community, and the lies were mostly exposed by the "dreaded" gamergate. 1.3K views • View upvotes 26

GamerGate = Evil

What if I told you that today I Woke up, GamerGate is the hate movement that everyone has been telling me it is, why is it that GamerGate people have turned pro-gamergate even though the evidence that shows the movement to be evil is so blatantly obvious. It has become clear to me now that everybody who is pro- gamergate is affected by the force, their mind has been poisoned into believing they are fighting for a good cause. GamerGate usually tells people they can believe whatever they want and they should use their freedom to make up their own mind, well no f------ wonder they are as confident as they are when their freedom is affected by mind control. I stand today with irrefutable evidence, that GamerGate is a mob being controlled by the evil forces of the Sith Empire, it's actually the first army growing bigger and bigger each day until it overturns the world as a slave for the sith empire to use. I salute you Princess Leia, with my new founding about GamerGate being the Sith Empire. Now let's present, THE EVIDENCE! Recently there was a GamerGate meetup in DC, what might seem like an innocent meetup (though heroically interupted by the rebels even though intel of their plans was prematurely leaked) was actually an indoctrination process of sith mind control. Let's take a look at this at first seemingly-innocent picture Upon a first glance it looks like 3 adorable, sexy, beautiful, hot, lovely, awesome, intelligent and irresistable ladies having a good time, I noticed something highly unusual, their eyes seemed wrong, like they were in a trance, that's when I saw something when looked closer, check it out What are you trying to tell me" you ask, well can't you see? It's f------ Darth Vader! He was present at the meetup! people would believe it was jst a cos player, a prefect disguise, hiding in plain sightl But it's the real f------ dealll Here's a portrait of the guy, the resemblence is undeniable Of course nobody remembers that Darth Vader was there, because he's controlling their mind, but the article about the meetup from Cathy Young, who was exposed to GG at this very meetup and got indoctrinated there, just look at this line from her article which shows undeniable proof of her mind having been indoctrinated! if I had any doubts about defending GamerGate from its detractors, #GGnDC put them to rest The men I saw were not creeps, and the women i saw were definte not doormats. And while the bomb threat was fake, the meetup was a blast You see? If she had any doubts!!?? they have been "put to rest" How can you deny GamerGate being like the sith empire now! But hey, make up your own mind, just don't do it too late, or you might not have a mind to make up!

If the gaming press reported on the Utah State threat the same way they did #GGinDC

Current reports vary on if the event was attacked by a bomb threat, some other promise of violence, or both, but it remains clear that local police we concerned enough to ask the reported +300 #GamerGate "members" in attendance to leave the premises as they investigated the situation. A recent lecture by "feminist culture critic"/wonk Anita Sarkeesian was put to a disturbing and sudden end a few days ago. Current reports vary on if the event was attacked by a mass shooting threat, some other promise of violence, or both, but it remains clear that Ms Sarkeesian was concerned enough that she cancelled the event. As you might expect, accusations are currently being thrown back and forth across gaming's political isle as to whether the threats came from those who view #GamerGate as a hate group, or by "members" of #GamerGate themselves in order to help signal boost their "cause" and gain sympathy from would-be supporters As you might expect, accusations are currently being thrown back and forth across gaming's political isle as to whether the threats came from those who view Sarkeesian as puritanical and a professional victim, or by fans of Feminist Frequency themselves in order to help signal boost their "cause" and gain sympathy from would-be supporters Seeing as how both Hoff Summers and Yiannopoulos showed little-to-no visible interest in gaming prior to their apparent recognition of #GamerGate's signal boosting power (in fact, Yiannopoulos even went as far as to describe gamers in their 30s as "a bit tragic" not that long ago), it's easy to see why some are suspicious about this particular threat Regardless, the whole thing is a mess and we at Destructoid are grateful that no one was hurt. Seeing as how Anita Sarkeesian showed little-to-no visible interest in gaming prior to her apparent recognition of "Tropes vs. Women in Video Games" signal boosting power (in fact, Sarkeesian even went as far as to describe gamer culture as a pit of toxic masculinity" not that long ago), it's easy to see why some are suspicious about this particular threat.

Honestly, I wasn't bothered by any of it and the "rape" joke didn't seem to imply rape to me, but then again I'm not an SJW
